Well, why only a psychologist? Violence can be different. For example, physical violence constitutes a crime of one or another severity. But the problem very often is that:
Domestic violence can be directed against any of its subjects, but real facts show that, in most cases, domestic violence is committed against women, minors and the elderly. At its core, domestic violence is a private form of domestic crime.
Domestic violence is one of the main problems addressed by executive bodies of state power, state institutions and public organizations. It was established that any kind of violence is harmful to health, and sometimes leads to tragedy - the death of a person. The situation is especially difficult when the most dependent member of the family - the child, is subjected to domestic violence. Children and women are abused where they should feel most protected, that is, in the family. Victims of domestic violence are one of the largest and most vulnerable groups.
The analyzes showed that the most common causes contributing to the commission of domestic violence can be qualified as:
- self-affirmation;
- imaginary permissiveness;
- domestic licentiousness.
These causes are generated by social sources, such as communal living; lack of sufficient funds capable of fully meeting the necessary needs; inability to fulfill oneself; copying the negative traits of parents, with their correspondence to the existing reality; alcohol abuse etc. All this ultimately gives rise to a conflict with the law, or the conflict of personality and law. The victims of domestic violence, as a rule, are the weakest psychologically and physically members of society - women, children and elderly citizens.
In addition, it is necessary to take into account the mentality of a Russian person, raised for years in a socialist society, where the removal of litter from a family hut was considered something vicious. It was easier for a woman to cry to her mother’s waistcoat, to her friend, and she was told - “she is eager to fall in love, beats means love, children cannot be without a father. And she had no choice but to tolerate humiliation. The same can be seen when raising children: now I’ll complain to my father, let him do it, teach you the mind. All this was laid down over the years and passed from generation to generation, a norm of behavior was created, which, as you know, is equivalent to the law. And in Russia, what is not prohibited by law is permitted.
Bottom line: often occurring violence is not recorded, and as a result, no verification is carried out. Recently, it has become fashionable to nod at the justices of the peace - it is their business, to analyze such situations.
An analysis of judicial practice when considering materials with evidence of private prosecution evidence indicates that in the vast majority of cases, justices of the peace try to reconcile the conflicting parties, while not delving into the causes and conditions that contribute to the commission of the offense. Therefore, courts of general jurisdiction, including world courts, cannot objectively contribute to the creation of conditions conducive to reducing the level of family crime. In this situation, the creation of family courts, the main purpose of which would be to identify the causes of the unfavorable situation in the family and take preventive measures to prevent possible illegal actions, would be an effective measure.
But what about when this violence is committed regularly? Here the question has already been raised of whether the person committed the offense under Art. 117 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation "Torture" - Causing physical or mental suffering through systematic beatings or other violent acts /
To recognize the actions of the perpetrator of torture, it is necessary to establish a systematic nature of such actions. According to the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, the commission of three or more criminal acts during torture should be considered systematic. The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, in a resolution of the Plenum of 12/21/93, clarified that repeated infliction of light bodily harm or beatings cannot be considered torture if, on one or more episodes of the indictment giving the right to qualify a person’s actions as systematic, the statute of limitations for attracting to criminal liability, or to a person for these actions, administrative measures have already been applied and decisions on the application of these measures have not been canceled.
It is here that I see the work not of a psychologist, but of ours — in proving systematization.
